A game is something of little importance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bagatelle

I believe this is a double definition.

'a game' is the first definition.
(bagatelle is a kind of game)

'something of little importance' is the second definition.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for bagatelle that I've seen before include "drop in the ocean!" , "Game; piece of music" , "Something trifling and negligible" , "Trivial matter" , "musical composition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
